Vercirnon is a novel, orally active selective antagonist of the CCR9 chemokine receptor, with IC₅₀ values of 5.4nM and 3.4nM for inhibiting CCR9‑mediated calcium mobilization and chemotaxis in Molt‑4 cells, respectively [1-2]. By specifically blocking the binding of the ligand CCL25 to the CCR9 receptor expressed on T cells, Vercirnon inhibits the migration and recruitment of T cells to the intestinal mucosa, thereby alleviating inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease[3-4].
In vitro, treatment of SACC‑LM cells with Vercirnon (10nM) for 48 hours, Vercirnon significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while promoting apoptosis [5]. In isolated CD1 mouse islets, co‑treatment with Vercirnon (10nM) and CCL25 (50nM) for 1 hour, Vercirnon significantly enhanced glucose‑stimulated insulin secretion and increased cAMP accumulation[6].
In vivo, Vercirnon (10mg/kg or 50mg/kg) administered subcutaneously twice daily for 10 weeks in a Crohn’s disease mouse model, Vercirnon significantly improved intestinal inflammation resembling Crohn’s disease[7]. Vercirnon (50mg/kg) given subcutaneously twice daily for 20 weeks in mdr1a⁻/⁻ mice markedly ameliorated ulcerative colitis‑associated weight loss and colonic inflammation[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | SACC-LM cells (human salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line) and SACC-83 cells |
Preparation Method | SACC cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium/nutrient mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂. For experiments, cells were treated with the CCR9 inhibitor Vercirnon at a concentration of 10nM, often following pre-treatment or co-treatment with 200ng/ml CCL25 for 24 or 48 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 10nM; 24h or 48h |
Applications | Vercirnon significantly inhibited the CCL25/CCR9-induced activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, as evidenced by reduced phosphorylation levels of AKT (Ser473). |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | TNFΔARE/+ mice (a genetic model of Crohn's disease) |
Preparation Method | Female TNFΔARE/+ mice were administered Vercirnon (10mg/kg and 50mg/kg) or a vehicle control via subcutaneous injection twice per day, starting when the animals were 2 weeks old and continuing for 10 weeks. At the end of the study (when mice were 12 weeks old), animals were sacrificed, and intestinal tissues were dissected and processed for histological analysis. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg and 50mg/kg; s.c.; Twice daily administration for 10 weeks. |
Applications | Treatment with Vercirnon resulted in a significant amelioration of intestinal inflammation. In the vehicle control group, 60% of mice developed severe/very severe inflammation. In contrast, Vercirnon treatment provided complete protection against severe inflammation. At the 50mg/kg dose of mice were histologically normal. This demonstrates that Vercirnon effectively blocks the development of pathology in a model of TNF-driven Crohn's disease. |
